The video features the American actor Christopher Walken , who plays "a guardian angel" to Madonna's character.
Madonna has performed the song live only once, during an appearance on Saturday Night Live in January The photograph Madonna ripped was of Joey Buttafuoco. Lyrically, the song is about a woman that is experiencing extreme sadness due to a failed relationship.

The maxi-single for "Bad Girl" doesn't include any remixes of the song, only an edit and an extended mix - both of which are almost identical to the original album version. Promis of AllMusic stated that the single could have been better, adding that although the remixes of "Fever" are "good, sweaty, stripped down, bare-bones deep house versions of the song," the single as a whole could have benefited from including the video remix. Rolling Stone magazine called the song a "riveting" ballad which describes "the mind of a girl who'd rather mess herself up than end a relationship she's too neurotic to handle, [and] the characters remain faceless.
It's as if Madonna recognizes the discomfort we feel when sensing the human character of a woman whose function is purely sexual. A sex symbol herself, she coolly removes the threat of her own personality.

The video clip was the first time that Madonna was shown wearing penciled-on eyebrows, after shaving them prior to the filming of the video for her previous single " Deeper and Deeper ".
Madonna said her idea for the video was influenced by the American film Looking for Mr.
Goodbar — a film in which the main female character lives a rather self-destructive life and is stabbed to death by a one-night stand. The music video for "Bad Girl" features Madonna playing the character "Louise Oriole" Madonna's middle name is Louise and Oriole is a street she once lived on , a high-powered and successful but ultimately lonely and depressed Manhattan female executive who is a chain smoking alcoholic with a penchant for one-night stands with many different men from affluent yuppies to shady low-lifes.
Through her days, Louise gets distracted by cigarettes, cocktails, and random hook-ups, as lamented in the song's lyrics.
